Frozen Waterfall Hike at Ricketts Glen State Park in Benton takes place on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 9:30 AM, with additional hikes on Saturday, February 21 and Saturday, March 7. Led by Quest guides, this seasonal outing highlights the park’s winter waterfall scenery, with frozen falls ranging from smaller cascades to towering ice formations.
Quest provides key winter gear for the hike, including mountaineering boots, crampons for icy footing, ice axes for tricky sections, and trekking poles as needed. Guides also set handlines in areas that may be especially slippery to help participants move confidently on frozen terrain.
Participants should dress in warm, flexible layers suited for snow hiking, including moisture-wicking base layers, insulating midlayers, and a waterproof/windproof outer layer. Gloves and face coverage are recommended, and a small bag can help store layers as conditions change.
Cost is $60 per person and includes gear and trained guides.
